This is due to security and privacy continuous update preventing cross server data transfers. You will find APIs that work on Android 9 but not 10 and so on.

Thank for helping, but I’ve already found the trouble. The API must have a certificate, in other words, the URL must begin https:// instead http://.

This certificate is important to run the App on Android 9 or higher.

Regards.
